A Note from the Producer:

I want to sincerely thank everyone who supported me and helped to make this trip possible. A big thank you goes to my mentors Laura Ruel, Don Wittekind and Seth Gitner for writing recommendation letters on my behalf to help me secure this grant. Thanks to Yanire Estrada, Janell Orisa McBride Gilharry, and Brett Jennings for their help as translators during the reporting stage. I also want to thank the non-profit Shoulder to Shoulder for allowing me to live in and work from their clinic in Santa Lucia. Thank you 5M Studios for providing a deserving title treatment for the site. Most importantly, thank you Nathalie Applewhite, Ann Peters, and everyone else at The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting for granting me this opportunity and working with me throughout the past two months.
